We had a wildly successful premiere screening at Motorco Music Hall. Nearly 200 community members came out and supported the film and we were able to raise $1293 dollars to help create this media platform. My fellow (amazing) co-producer, Mikel Barton, helped coordinate the event with Mike Webster of Motorco. He helped put up posters around town while I was in Brooklyn. Many other community members came out to support this grassroots film event. Vimala Rajendran of Vimala’s Curryblossom Cafe made a delicious spread of staples from her kitchen. Tim and Noah of Bread Uprising baked vegan/gluten free chocolate cupcakes and vegan cookies painted in all colors of the rainbow. All of these treats were given away for free at the event. Jade Brooks and Manju Rajendran greeted folks at the door. Tim Stallman and Anjali Rajendran contributed cakes that we auctioned off after the screening. And my father, Bakki Kudva, who came with my mother and sister, took event photos. Check out the rest of the photos here!
